In this paper, a computer simulationtechnique for the forging process having a spring-attached die was presented . The penalty rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method was empolyed together with an interatively force-balancing method, in which the convergence was achieved when the forming load and the spring reaction force are in equilibrium within the user-specified allowable accuracy. The force balance was controled by adjusting the velocity of the spring-attched die. th minimize the number of internations, a velocity estimating schemewas proposed. Two application examples found in the related company were given. In the first application example, the predicted metal folw lines were compared with the acturally forged ones. in the second example, a hot forging process with a spring-attached die was simulated and the analyzed results were discussed in order to investigated the effects of spring-attached dies on the metal flow lines and the forming loads.

Cold forging has several advantages as compared with conventional forming by cutting process. In this study, the elastic deformations of straight bevel gear and die induced by cold forging process are investigated to use 3D-Scanner. So we could estimate the total elastic deformation as comparing between forged bevel gears and die. And finite element analysis has been performed to predict the elastic deformation, each of cold forged bevel gear and die. The predicted values are compared with the experimental values and as a result they are well agreed with experimental data.

플런저(Plunger)의 부품 용도는 점화 플러그와 조립 되는 부품으로 연료 분사장치에 적용하여 연료 효율이 약 15~20% 개선됨이 일본에서 검증되어 일본은 상용화 되었다. 국내에서는 개발단계로 처음에 냉간단조로 개발하였다가 원가 및 생산성 문제로 프로그레시브금형(Progressive Die)로 개발 하려는 단계이다. 디젤기관에 사용되며 기관의 출력을 조절하기 위해 플런저를 이용하여 연료의 토출량을 조절할 때 사용이 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 디젤 차량에 장착되는 플런저를 냉간단조방식이 아닌 원가 및 생산성을 확보할 수 있는 프로그레시브 금형에 적용하여 양산할 수 있는 스트립 레이아웃을 개발하고자 하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to establish an automated die design system for compacting and sizing process required in Powder Metallurgy. Though the Powder Metallurgy(P/M) is a practical and economical forming technology, it needs long time and many trials and errors for die design. Such a problem can be solved by introduction of the automated die design system for P/M. In order to establish the system, collecting, classifying, and systematizing related knowledges from the experts in industries, books, and papers were performed. The system was constructed by AutoLISP, the language operated in AutoCAD atmosphere. This language can efficiently support for user to work on drawings. There are three modules ; P/M part specification input module, P/M part design module, and Die design module. A part for vehicle was applied to the system and satisfied results were achieved.

Multistage hot forging process enables mass production of various parts at a high speed, wherein, it is important to design the forging steps in an optimal way. Finite element methods are widely applied for optimizing the forging process design; however, they present inaccurate results due to the rapid change in the mold temperature during multistage hot forging. In this study, the temperature distributions of the mold in a steady state were calculated via heat transfer analysis during mold cooling. The flow stress and friction coefficient of the material were measured according to the temperature and were applied for numerical analysis of the multistage hot forging process. Eventually, the accuracy of the analysis results is verified by comparing these results with the experiments.

In this paper, a computer simulation technique for the forging process having a floating die is presented. The penalty rigid-plastic finite element method is employed together with an iteratively force-balancing method, in which the convergence is achieved when the floating die part is in force equilibrium within the user-specified tolerance. The force balance is controled by adjusting the velocity of the floating die in an automatic manner. An application example of a three-stage cold forging process is given.

This paper describes about the estimation method of die lift by wear and plastic deformation in hot forging process. The thermal load and the thermal softening are happened by the high temperature in hot forging process. Tool lift decreases considerably due to the softening of the surface layer of a tool caused by high thermal load and long contact time between tool and billet. Also, tool life is to a large extent limited by wear, heat crack and plastic deformation in hot forging process. Above all, the main factors which affects die accuracy and tool lift are wear and the plastic deformation of a die. The new developed technique for predicting tool life applied to estimate the production quantity for a spindle component and these techniques assist to improve the tool life in hot forging process.

The die wear is one of the main factors affecting die accuracy and tool lifetime. It is desired to reduce die wear by developing simulation method to predict wear based on process parameters, and then optimize the process. Therefore, this paper describes disign methodology of preform for minimizing wear of finisher die in multi-stage cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction and the cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction and the cold forging process is analyzed. In order to obtain preform to minimize die wear, the FPS algorithm is applied and the optimal preform shape is found from iterative deformation analysis and wear calculation.

In hot closed-die forging the load increases rapidly near the final stage. Preforming operation is important to both the sound final forging and die-service life. In this study, the material flows during preforming and final forging are investigated. The physical modeling with Plasticine as a model material showed clear flow patterns. The forging process were numerically simulated by the finite element method with the isothermal and the non-isothermal models. The flow patten of the isothermal simulation showed good agreements with the experiments. Temperature changes and pressure distributions on the die surfaces during one cycle of the forging process were obtained from the non-isothermal simulation. High pressure and temperature were developed at certain areas of the die surfaces. It was concluded that those areas usually coincide with each other and should be distributed by the preforming operations to enhance the die life.

In this paper, effects of major design parameters of cold forging dies on die mechanics are quantitatively investigated with emphasis on shrink fit using a thermoelastic finite element method. A ball-stud cold forging process found in a cold forging company is selected as a test process and the effects of die insert material, magnitude of shrink fit, dimension of shrink ring, number of shrink rings, partition of die insert and clamping force on effective stress and circumferential stress are analyzed. It has shown that the number of shrink rings, magnitude of shrink fit, and Young's modulus of die insert material have strong influence on compressive circumferential stress in die insert but that the influence of the other design parameters is relatively weak.
